Review Rescinded; No Rate Changes
The Department of Commerce has rescinded the antidumping administrative review for certain paper shopping bags from Portugal for the period January 3, 2024 through June 30, 2025. Because the parties that requested the review withdrew their requests, no cash deposit rates will change and the current cash deposit requirements remain in effect until further notice.
Duties Assessed at Deposit Rates
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries of the subject merchandise at rates equal to the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry.
